The battery saver will then shut off the display. AUTOMATIC DIMMING INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle is equipped with inside and driver side outside rear view mirrors with an auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirrors will change from the normal state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirrors. When the inside rear view mirror detects bright light from in front of or behind the vehicle, the inside and driver side outside rear view mirrors will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare. Press the control to turn the mirror on or off. The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the vehicle is placed in R (reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a bright clear view when backing up. Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products. On vehicles equipped with a moonroof, the automatic rear view mirror has two map lamps. Refer to Interior lamps for more information. 73
